A collection assembled by the brothers Simon and Hugo Morsink, both passionate icon lovers and art dealers. Accompanying texts, to which international experts have contributed, explain the meaning of these Greek and Russian icons, dating from the 15th to the 19th century, while several essays take the reader inside the world of this ancient Christian art form."--BOOK JACKET
